[vlc] Re: Broken video with rawdv and firewire connection

[John Roberts]

Thanks for the response.

I hadn't tried the caching option.  The startup line was pretty basic:

Vlc  dv/rawdv://dev/raw1394

I will try the --dv-caching option first thing Monday.

Thanks,

-John

Yes I have since I wrote the DV access plugin. What was exactly your
commandline? and what type of camera did you use? What bitrate does it
encode in?

Anyway I would add --dv-caching=60000 (1 min caching) to the commandline .
